THE GR THIRD ANNUAL SESSION Kansas State Federation OF ART CLUBS A BRILLIANT GATHERING. AT KANSAS CITY KANSAS. THE GREATEST MEETING IN ITS HISTORY KANSAS CITY, KANSAS WINS PRESIDENT. After long expectations came realization for the Third Annual Meeting of the Kansas State Federation met in this City on Wednesday morning at the First Baptist Church and at 9:30 A. M. was asked to order by Mrs. L. H. Washington, President of Topeka. Prayer was offered by the Chaplain Mrs. S. Martin of Topeka. After the appointment of committees, Mrs. Lula Johnson, the well-known Lodge woman and political advocate of this City, read a paper on "Filling A Woman's Place," it was painful of common sense and climaxes among the many things said was—That no ear a girl to properly fill a woman's place in life mothers should begin their teachings at the family heartstone and extend it into the schoolroom. That they should be taught that life is not all sunshine, how to cook, sew, wash and make home attractive, to love honesty, purity and simplicity, instead of fashion and its follies, paid a tribute to the Federation and its efforts to raise the standard of usefulness among the women of our race. She was followed by Mrs. McCarroll of Tupoka on "Trained Brains and Trained Fingers" it was a well received and met the approval of the vast gathering. Mrs Mestal Wilson & Mrs. I. F. Bradley of this city rendered the Instrument music and 16 little girls of Leaeworth under direction of Miss Olive Henderson received much applause for their choruses. The credential committee made their reports that there were 35 clubs represented with something like 200 delegates. The president of the differ ent clubs, made reports as to the conditions of their clubs. The afternoon ses sion of the first day consisted of Music Actuations, dutches and Papers. Mrs. A. V. Watkins of this city delivered the welcome Address which was responded to by Ms. L. Carter of Lawrence Miss Nettie Peonix rendered an instrumental song and Mrs. Ceilia Gregg a paper. The evening session consisted of vocal and instrumental music, vioil and piano and the Presidents annual address. The City Federation under the presidency of Mrs. M. C. Younger Mathews tendered the visitors and delegates a reception at Hains Hall. The Third Annual Meeting of the Kansas State Federation of Art Clubs in our city, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, must be chronicled as the grandest and gayest gatherings of pretty women, elegant costumes, accomplished artists, culture, refinement and trains that has ever assembled among Afro-American women, in history of the State, perhaps in the Country, no flierist ever ran in such a stock, from the tender little Lilly, the harty Violet, and Daisies to the American Beauty, tube and beauful night blooming ceres. Comparison falls, for in the midst of such an abundance of beauty one was lost for speech. For many months to come the meeting of the Art Clubs will be the subject for discussion and well it might be, not understanding that Jupiter Pluvius didn't smile in happy favor on the gathering, the brilliance of the costumes and the The atmospheric ocean surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by gigantic waves, which are invisible except when they carry parts of the air charged with moisture up into a colder atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs.

One of the most lifting up features of the whole affair is the extraordinary fine display of Art and needles work at Hains Hall on the main thoroughfare. It was viewed and lavishly commented on by thousands both white and colored citizens. There was such an abundance of difficult and commendable work, that it would be somewhat of an injustice to speak of a few without mentioning all. As that is impossible we will mention however some.

The second days session consisted of solos, duetts, papers and discussions of more or less importance to the women of the race Mrs. Katherine Harris read a paper on charity which was par excellent. The invitation to hold the next annual session in Lawrence K S. 1903. was accepted. Much interest centered around the afternoon session of the last day and the women showed their ability at wire pulling and combinations in the selection of officers and it took a rather cool head to hold these 20th century women in place but Mrs. L.

The Negro Citizen of Kansas City, Kansas should wake up sometime to the things that are near and dear to their hearts. They should take some interest in all the affairs touching them and their interest. It is nigh time that the Negro should demand of the school board of Kansas City, Kansas the removal of Lincoln school at 6th and State ave. It is one of most dangerous places for a public school to be found in the city. At the intersection of two electric railways and scarcely fifty feet of play ground for the children. One promising little girl has been sent to her long home by being ground to pieces beneath the wheels of these cars passing the door, and unless this school is moved, others are doomed. It may be your little son or daughter. Why not make a demand for the removal of the same and equally as well built quarters to be established elsewhere. Delays are dangerous. Booker T. Washington the wizard of famous Tuskegee, delivered the annual address at the Nebraska College all the same in due time last week, notwithstanding the great hubbab raised some months ago by a few Negro hating pupils and their parents, who thought it intensely lowering for a Negro to deliver an address to them. It is to be hope that the Men's Sunday Forum, will not flinch in going to the bottom obtaining facts about the damnable hell holes and policy shops that are damning the race to such an awful State.

I BEFORE USING HARTONA AFTER USING HARTONA LORD KELVIN AS DAMOCLES The Great Scotch Scientist's Absolute Faith in Figures. Lord Kelvin, so his friends say, used to make of himself a sort of Damocles, but it was a cannon ball instead of a sharp sword which was suspended over his head. Few living scientists have as high a reputation as Lord Kelvin, and few have to their credit more useful inventions or valuable discoveries. Though now in his seventy-eighth year the old professor, who for more than half a century occupied the chair of natural philosophy at Glasgow university, still maintains his reputation for being one of the most energetic men in Scotland. Those who know him are fond of telling of the boyish eagerness and almost incredible energy with which he attacks his work. When lecturing he used to become so absorbed and wrapped up in the experiments he was conducting that he could scarcely wait for the results. Disdainting the services of an assistant, he scurried about his lecture room like a youth of 16. Indeed the students liked to say that they never saw him cross his laboratory except at a run. The ruling passion of Lord Kelvin, who is a member of half the learned societies of Europe, and who has been decorated by the emperor of Germany, the president of France and the king of Belgium, is his absolute faith in figures, and it is this ruling passion which led to his experiment as a Damocles. When he has once solved a problem in mathematics he is willing to stake upon its correctness not only his reputation, but, if necessary, his life. Taking an immensely heavy cannon ball, he calculated with the utmost accuracy the size of the smallest wire which would bear the weight of the load of iron. He then procured a length of wire of just the requisite strength, and, to prove the truth of his figuring, had the cannon ball suspended over his lecturing platform at the very spot where it would be most likely to strike and crush him should the wire give way, and it remained there for weeks.—London Mail. The Story of It, as Told by the Multimillionaire Himself. The interviewer disturbs J. Pierpoint Morgan. He makes his boast that he never has been interviewed, and declares that in the last seven years but one interviewer ever has been able to approach him. The story of this one exception he yesterday told to Bishops Potter and Doane. On a recent trip to Europe a representative of the London Times would not take no for his answer. "Tell the Times man my time is worth £10 a minute," at last said Morgan. "The Times man says he'll take two minutes at that," came back the reply. "He handed me £20," said Mr. Morgan, "talked just two minutes by both our watches, did all the talking himself, and rose to go on the instant. 'Why do you want to see me?' I asked in curiosity. 'Oh, I wagered £100 that I would interview you personally, that's all,' was his reply. I congratulated him on his enterprise and dismissed him within the third minute of his call." "Did you keep his £20?" dryly asked Bishop Potter, as Mr. Morgan enDED. "Yes, and I haven't earned money in a long time that gave me the satisfaction that £20 did."-San Francisco Examiner.

When Secretary of the Navy Long entered the department of which he was the head, he was obliged to have John D. Long, Secretary of the Navy, stamped on the corner of all his stationery.

PETER YOUNG. Administrator of the Estate of Clara Williams, Alias Clara Shurice. (Feb.211902.) Just before I left for Europe this summer, a great box came to me filled with dolls all dressed and the request came to it that I should have them sent to a children's hospital. There is a hospital in New York for consumptive children, as well as for older people with the same disease, and I gave the dolls to a physician who is connected with that hospital. We said afterward she wished I could have seen the children trooping toward him, each carrying a doll. But the most touching thing to me was what the nurse told the doctor, that after every child was turned and with a doll there were a number left, and the poor women dying with consumption asked if each might have a doll. They all wanted them, and to each the dolls were given, and the nurse said she could not have dreamed of a ceiling such a comfort to those poor alex women.

Subscriptions to The Patent Record economy, IN USING DIAMOND "C" SOAP B is asserted by the defender of "trusts" that in almost every instance the formation of a trust has been followed by a decrease in the price of the product. This is true; but in most instances trusts have been formed to check the downward tendency of prices by interfering with the operation of the law of supply and demand. Probably there is no conspicuous instance of lower prices following the organization of a trust, in which the prices to the consumer would not have fallen still lower if the trust had not been formed. The greatest objection to trusts is that they are wrong in principle, in that they interfere with a fundamental law of trade. Only persons under thirty years of age were ready to accept promptly Harvey's great discovery of the circulation of the blood; and just as youth is most apt to respond to the touch of genius so men rare abilities seldom fall of the spirit of perpetual youth. Keeping young is simply keeping abreast with the times we are in. At the recent anniversary in New York City of the founding of Stevens Institute, ex-Mayor Hewitt related this incident: "When I was a student at Columbia, base ball was our only game, and not such a detachment to a college as it is to-day. We lost most of our balls by knocking them over into a yard of a house in Barclay street. One day when we were short and could not get any base balls, I was appointed a committee of one to visit the house and ask for some. A gentleman appeared in answer to my question, and producing a basket containing twenty-five or thirty balls, asked if they were ours. I said that I supposed they were. 'Every one of them has broken a window in my house,' he rejoined. 'You may take them, and when you have all the bows in to Hoboken Read The Citizen.

"What's that?" she demanded. "Sleeping clothes from England," said Mr. Kruger, with misgiving. "Then take them off," responded Tante, "and come to bed in your velldshoe (shoes)."

Philadelphia, Fx. An Amusing Race An amusing race was run some four years since in the neighborhood of Vienna between a pig, a goose and a monkey. Soon after the start the goose became obstinate and refused to keep with the ether competitors, of whom the monkey soon established a long lead. The backers of the pig thereupon had recourse to stratagem, and by throwing a handful of nuts in the simian's course so engaged his attention that his porcine rival was able to pass him and win cleverly. When Doctors Disagree When doctors disagree who shall decide? Dr. Behring, the famous German scientist, has just published a book on tuberculosis, in which he takes a position directly opposite to that maintained by Prof. Koch, by saying that the tubercular bacillus may be communicated from animals to human beings. He advocates the vaccination of cattle to render them immune against tuberculosis. — Cleveland Leader. Secretary of London Embassy Craig Wadsworth, who has been appointed third secretary of the United States embassy at London, is an intimate friend of the president and was with him with the Rough Rider regiment in Cuba. He is well known in New York: society and is a member of the Knickerbocker and other prominent clubs. It is said he will go to London to take the office before the coronation of King Edward. Public-Spirited Publisher Edwin Ginn, the publisher, was honored recently by thirty of his towns folk, representative citizens of Winchester, Mass., by a dinner in appreciation of his recent purchase of Ringley, a beautiful residential park in the center of the town. Had it not been for his timely purchase this beautiful expanse of trees and lawns would have been divided by speculators into a hundred house lots. A. Helpous Offence A sentence was once pronounced by a Scotch judge with the following accompaniment: "Ye did not only kill and murder the man, and thereby take away his valuable life, but ye did push, thrust or impel the lethal weapon on through the belly band of his regimental trousers, which were the property of his majesty."—Glasgow Evening Times. No Jews in Nazareth: There are no Jews in Nazareth. They are not allowed to live there. They are permitted to come in and trade, but no Jew can rent a house or store or take up a permanent residence for fear of a public demonstration. They come and go, however, like other merchants, buying and selling, minding their own business, and making money out of the Christians.

Peterson of this place, Justice of the Peace for Occonto County, tells the following story: "For years I had an aching pain in my back which troubled me very much especially in the morning. "I was almost unable to straighten my back and the pain was unbearable. "I did not know what it was, but seeing an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills I concluded to try a box. "I can only say that that one box alone has done me more good than anything else ever did. "I feel as well now as ever I was. "I have recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to several others, who are using them with good results." Mr. Peterson is a highly respected man and one who would not so positively make a statement unless it was absolutely true.

Kansas Notes ```markdown ``` Two little girls in Cowley county wrote to young Teddy Roosevelt, telling him about Kansas and asked him to write and tell them about Washington. The president's boy wrote them a polite letter in reply. In Leavenworth the police surgeon held a thimble party and took stitches in the scalp of a man who felt called upon to go forth and "smash" the saloons. It's what a man gets for invading woman's sphere. A Witchia policeman who arrested a saloonkeeper by mistake is described as suffering from "accidental discharge of his duty." Topeka has offered $550,000 for the plant of the water works company, but the company holds out for $650,000. Captain Richmond Pearson Hobson will lecture at the Emporia Chautauqua assembly July 2, and the announcement has caused no commotion. The young women understand quite generally that Captain Hobson has reformed. The supreme lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, in session in Portland, Ore., this week, elected Webb McNall supreme master workman, the highest office within the gift of the order. The Atchison Glob gives voice to the following protest: "Martha Washington's portrait is to appear on a postage stamp, and Washington's mother may be similarly honored. Washington had a father, and he was a good man, but do you ever hear of him? Ever hear of Abraham Lincoln's male kin? They get no postage stamps." Personal tax lists, when printed in the papers, often result in revelations. The president of a bank in Wellington, it is shown, pays taxes on $90 worth of personal property. A barber who lasz a little shop in the basement of the banker's building pays personal taxes on $120. A strange accident is reported by the Marquette Tribune. J. I. Mulligan was struck by lightning. A tooth was knocked out and he was rendered unconscious, but wasn't dangerously injured. Several weeks ago the Jewell County Republican proposed the problem: "How can a pond that has been dry for ten months, assemble 1,000,000 frogs in one night?" But the newspaper scientists of Northern Kansas are not to be stumped by such a query. The Russell Record explains: "Frogs have the faculty of burrowing in the ground, taking on the color of their surroundings and lying in a dormant state for an indefinite time. When the rain comes they wake up and sing." The scientist of the Delphos Republican has a different solution. He answers the question: "I can't. Don't you recall that story about the man who took an order for a million frogs, the number he estimated from the noise he heard, but when he went for the goods found only two green heads in the mud on opposite sides of the pool, calling each other names and daring each other to cross and fight?" The Goodland Republic is the latest paper to balk, and to promulgate the rule that hereafter resolutions of condolence, cards of thanks, obituary poetry and all notices of entertainments given for the purpose of realizing money will cose five cents a line for each insertion. Linn county is going to have a big Fourth of July celebration in La Cygne. This month the salaries of the postmasters in Leavenworth, Manhattan, Iola, Parsons, Olathe and Goodland have been increased by reason of the increased business record made last year. In 1869 seven Kansas men were buffalo hunting in Western Kansas. The party was attacked by Indians and six of the seven were killed. The survivor was J. L. Chesney, who died last week in Marshall county. Mound Valley has an abandoned gas well that graveled and water high into the air on the morning of the Martinique disaster, and it has been discovered that the well "foretells atmospheric and volcanic disturbances all over the world." The statement is couched for by a competent authority who is the proprietor of a feed store. Dave Leahy tells the story of a man who had only one hand and an Irishman asked him how he lost the other. He replied: "I had long suspected that I was part Irish—that I had Irish blood in my veins—and I was convinced that it had all settled in my right hand. Having determined that I placed it on a log, took an ax and cut the hand off." "Begorra," said the Irishman, "it's a pity it hadn't settled in your head." An Atchison woman has the letters "N. S. B." embossed on the stationery she uses when she writes to out-of-town friends. The letters stand for "No spare bedroom." Frank Tyler, a graduate of the Emporia Gazette and the Hutchinson News, has bought the Dodge City Globe-Republican and will make an excellent paper of it. At a recent party in Atchison a visiting young man was so funny that a home girl split her waist laughing and had to go home in a hack. Visitors are requested by the Globe not to be as funny in future as they can be. Goodland is feeling jubilant over the prospect of being on the line of the proposed extension of the Missouri Pacific's Central branch to Denver. There is not a town between Lenora and the state line that has not at some time or other felt jubilant over the same prospect. Atchison will have no worn out "street fair" features at its Corn carnival. Instead there will be free ball games, free vaudee performances by professionals, free music, free balloon assemblies, free fireworks. It is the Atchison idea not to rob visitors but to show them a good time. Southeastern Kansas is overrun with all kinds of buno workers, but the woman "bunoist" is a rarity. She appeared in Cherryvale a few days ago and solicited funds for the Orphans' Home society until the police stopped her.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds. Mrs. Pauline Judson Writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: —Soon after my marriage two years ago I found myself in constant pain. The doctor said my womb was turned, and this caused the pain with considerable inflammation. He prescribed me for me for A. H. four months, when my husband became impatient because I grew worse instead of better, and in speaking to the druggist he advised him to get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash. How I wish I had taken that at first; it would have saved me weeks of suffering. It took three long months to restore me, but it is a happy relief, and we are both most grateful to you. Your Compound and health to me." Mrs. PAULIN JUDSON $7 Hoyt Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. $4000 forfeit if above testimonial is not genuine. It would seem by this statement that women would save time and much sickness if they would get Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and also write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., for special advice. It is free and always helps. HEALTH AND ALL ITS BLESSINGS Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a question of right-living, with all the term implies, but the efforts which strengthen the system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsanitary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is—Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every objectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine and the full name of the Co.—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.

CONSUMPTION --- THETRAINS MET FIVE PERSONS KILLED AND 29 INJURED IN MINNESOTA. THE SWITCH HAD BEEN TURNED One Passenger Train Waiting for Another to Pass—The Thrown Switch Sent the Moving Train to Meet the Waiting One in Head-End Collision—Fire Followed the Wreck. STAPLES, MINN. — (Special.) A headend collision occurred at Tower Lake siding, two miles west of here, on the Northern Pacific, at 1:45 Saturday morning, between No. 7 passenger, west bound, and No. 8 passenger, east bound. Engineer Scott, of No. 7 took the siding, expecting No. 8, which had the right way, to pass. The latter, believing everything clear, came along at a high rate of speed. The switch, however, had in some way not yet explained, been turned, and No. 8 dashed into the waiting train. Five persons were killed and twenty-nine injured.

BUFFALO SURGEON SHOT. Instantiy Killed During a Scuffle With His Wife. BUFFALO, N. Y.—(Special.) Dr. Jacob F. Meyer, one of the best known citizens in this city, was shot through the heart Saturday and instantly killed. His wife, who was the first person to inform the police of the shooting of her husband, is at an East side police station in a highly hysterical condition. No charge has been preferred against Mrs. Meyer, and the police say she is being kept under surveillance because of her nervous condition. Mrs. Meyer rushed into the police station and informed the desk sergeant that her husband had been shot. She carried a small handbag and said the revolver with which her husband was shot was in it. Mrs. Meyer has made several disconnected statements about the shooting, referring to a scuffle between herself and her husband. Jenloy Caused a Shooting SOUTH MALESTER, I. T.—(Special.) Prompted by jealousy, Tuesday, Henry Pierce shot Eugenie Traylor through the abdomen as she lay in the street where she had fallen while in flight from him, and her wounds are regarded mortal. After firing the shot, Pierce started in hot pursuit of his rival, George Tyler, but was arrested. He admits that he aimed to kill both parties. He is in the federal jail awaiting the result of the Traylor woman's injuries. All the parties are colored. Two Men Crushed to Death. COLTON, U.—(Special.) R. H. Long, of Springfield, Mo., and O. Ecklund, of Pueblo, Colo., were instantly killed, and O. C. Crowder, of Louisville, Ky., seriously injured here Tuesday afternoon. The three men got into a car loaded with lumber for the purpose of stealing a ride. They were between the ends of the lumber and the end of the car when a trainload of stone was switched against the car, causing the lumber to shift, crushing them. HE HAS DISAPPEARED. The President of a Philadelphia Trust Company is Wanted PHILADELPHIA—(Special.) As a result of the assignment of the United States Trust Company, the police are looking for Henry R. McDowell, its president, a member of the New York bar, to arrest him on information sworn to by Charles L. Brown, assignee, charging him with larceny of its securities, and embezzlement of its funds to the value of $50,000. It is believed, however, that McDowell is already on his way to Europe. McDowell was elected president of the campany about six months ago. There were 10,000 shares of stock at a par value of 5. The first thing McDowell did, it is said, was to secure the authorization of 10,000 additional shares with a face value of $250,000, which were given to him for negotiation. In addition to this, when he was made president there were entrusted to him securities to the value of $50,000. To meet the expenses of the concern notes were given. These matured within the last few days and the amount necessary to pay them could not be found by the treasurer. A meeting of the officers was called and an assignment was made to Charles L. Brown. Mr. Brown, upon investigation, demanded a return of the securities, but was informed that McDowell had left New York for Boston. Further inquiries have led him to the belief that the missing president has taken a steamer from New York. The authorities of Boston and New York have been requested to arrest McDowell and they have all steamers in port searched. IT IS FOR PANAMA. The Senate Votes in Favor of the Short Route Coastal WASHINGTON. — (Special.) An Isthmian canal, while not yet absolutely assured, is nearer to construction than it ever has been. The Senate Friday, by a majority of eight votes, adopted the Spooner substitute for the Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill, the vote on the substitute being 42 to 34. After two amendments to the measure had been adopted, one providing for a commission to supervise the construction of the canal and the other providing for the issuance of $130,000,000 of 2 per cent gold bonds to raise money with which to construct the waterway, it was passed by a vote of 67 to 6. The vote on the canal bill showed eight majority in favor of the Spooner amendment. This amendment is in the nature of a substitute for the House bill, and authorizes the president to acquire the Panama route. The House bill provides for what is known as the Nicaragua route, and thus both houses are on diametrically opposite sides of the question. The bill now goes into conference, the ultimate outcome of which, it is predicted, will be a resolution to turn the whole matter over to the President, with authority to select the most feasible route, but leaving him uninstructed, contrary to the provisions of the Sooner amendment. FIREMEN TO, FIGHT MOR TERRE HAUTE, IND.—(Special.) A mob is after William Edison in the Vincennes jail. The fire department has been called out to assist the police in dispersing the mob. Edison is charged with assaulting a 4-year-old girl in Vincennes a month ago. The mob that has gathered to lynch him seems to lack a leader. 1 WHEELING. W. VA.—(Special.) Wednesday at Connerville, a mining village back of Portland Station, O., Charles Scott, a negro, shot and killed Mrs. John Dull, a Hungarian woman, and Samuel Jones, a partner of Scott, who was drinking heavily, went to Mrs. Dull's house and demanded that she give him something to eat, and, on being refused, shot her acove the right eye. He returned to his own cabin and shot Jones dead. The infuriated Hungarians have now surrounded the cabin and as soon as they can break in on Scott will lynch him. A SOLDIER'S CRIME. Shot and Killed a Woman and Then Committed Suicide COLUMBUS, O.—Harry W. Bragg, a private in Company F, Twentieth United States infantry. Tuesday shot and killed Mrs. Lizzie Tibbits, and then shot and killed himself. The tragedy was enacted on the grounds at the Columbus barracks and jealousy was the motive. Bragg, whose home is in Pekin, Wis., served in the Philippines in the Twenty-fourth United States volunteers. Mrs. Tibbits came here from Chicago as cook for Major Augur, of the twentieth regiment. Her husband was an enlisted man, but was dishonorably discharged several weeks ago. Bragg became infatuated with the woman. Just preceding the tragedy, Bragg quarreled with her because she had gone out with another man. BRIEFBITS OF NEWS. The Junior Order of the United American Mechanics at Milwaukee decided to meet next year in San Francisco. The convention also reaffirmed all the acts of the last national council board of officers, which is a decided victory for the administration forces. George B. Bowers, of Pennsylvania, was elected national councilor. Some men are of volcanic origin, but they are not the ones who shoot off their mouths. Announcement was made at the commencement exercises of Colorado college, Colorado Springs, Colo., Thursday, that General William J. Palmer had given $25,000 toward the science building. The Boer General Louis Botha is going to Dresden, where his family had taken refuge, for the purpose of taking them back to South Africa. 2 The large barn at the home of G. W. Miller, president of the "101" Ive stock ranch of Oklahoma, in Winfield, Kan., burned Wednesday morning. The loss is estimated at $20,000. The origin of the fire is unknown. PATERSON RIOT ONE PERSON BADLY HURT AND CTHERS LESS SERIOUSLY. ANARCHISTS FIGURE IN THE FICHT "Reds" Joined the Striking Mill Workers—Mills Were Wreaked. Shots Were Fire and Threats of Arson Were Made—Mayor Hesitates to Call Out the Soldiery—More Trouble Yet. PATERSON, N. J.—(Special.) This city was in the hands of a mob Thurs day and as a result of the riots several persons were shot and one at least will die. The police were so few in number that they could make little headway against the mob. Mills were wrecked with stones and bullets by striking silk dyers' helpers or roughs acting for them, and there were threats to resort to the torch, but so far the mayor hesitates about asking Governor Murphy for troops. There seems to be every indication that the riot was the result of a pre-arranged element in the affair from the start. Among the leaders of the trouble was a man named McQueen and another man named Galleano, the former an Englishman and the latter an Italian. Others, agents of anarchist circles, have also been quietly fanning the flames. Thursday morning Chairman McGrath, who has held the strikers in leash since he first obtained control on the second day of the strike, was on hand and presided. He spoke, so did McQueen and Galleano and the latter worked his countrymen into a freazy. Then McQueen leaped into control of the meeting. He called for a vote on the question of calling for a general strike of all branches of the silk trade. All voted in favor, and a committee was appointed to consider means for bringing the silk workers out. Galleano was one of this committee. It gathered amid a babel of tongues and a scene of confusion. Five minutes later Galleano emerged from the group shouting something in Italian. Instantly a mob formed about him. Into it rushed the Italians and then the other foreigners and a moment later the mob led by Galleano swept down Belmont avenue. A quarter of a mile down Belmont avenue stands the Columbia mill, a silk ribbon factory. The doors had been locked when the mob appeared but they were forced open and with the crash of the doors came a volley of stones which riddled the windows in the front of the building. President Grossgebauer telephoned for the police. Stones rained into the office and flew about his head. Twenty young women on the first floor stood at bay and threatened to fight and the weavers on the second floor ran down to their aid, but all were forced out of the mill. All other mills were attacked in the same manner. Harry Harris, a reporter on the Morning Call, was armed with a revolver and had a camera with which he attempted to take pictures, standing on a stoop a short distance down the street. His act of training the camera was seen and he was warned to desist. A moment later a rain of stones fell about him and he was kicked and beaten. He drew his revolver and tried to use it, but it jammed and was kicked from his hand. A man grabbed it and fired at Harris, the bullet entering his chest. He has a slight chance of recovery. By this time the mills were emptied of the operatives and this practically ended the rioting for the day, after all of the mills had closed down. During the day from time to time wounded had been carried to the hospitals. Besides those whose names can be given it is certain many more were hurt. In the afternoon the anarchists who seemed to be in command were openly threatening that a policeman's life would pay for each wounded rioter. The police are tired, sore and angry and they say that a resumption of the rioting in the morning will find them prepared to shoot to kill. The mill owners say they will resume work and will hold the city and county responsible for all resulting damage. CREEDE, COLO.—(Special.) The second terrible fire in the history of Creede occurred Thursday morning, and as a result fully $200,000 worth of property has been burned, two lives are believed to have been lost and many persons were injured. The fire occurred in what is known as Upper Creede, and that part of town is in ruins, making sixty families homeless. The names of the missing are William Stewart and Fritz Zint. The fire started in a vacant building formerly occupied as a saloon, and is supposed to have been of incendiary origin. One whole block on Main street is destroyed. The new Happy Thought mill, which cost $225,000, was saved only with the utmost difficulty. Huge Rewards for Lynchers RALEIGH, N. C.-(Special.) Governor Aycock Thursday offered rewards aggregating $30,000 for the arrest and conviction of unknown persons who on the night of June 11 took the negro, Gillespie, from the jail at Salisbury and lynched him. There were about seventy-five men in the party and the governor offers a reward of $400 for each of them. It is understood that evidence has been found tending to show that the negro was innocent of the crime with which he was charged. Thunder Mountain Mystery LEWISTON, IDAHO. — (Special.) Late advises from Eik City show conclusively that the man found dead on the Dixie trail to Thunder Mountain was brutally murdered. The body was nude when found and only a small piece of mackinaw coat was found in the vicinity of the crime. The main part of the body is gone, only the limbs and head remaining. The skull of the victim was frightfully crushed and identification is impossible. It is believed he was waylaid by robbers. 3 THIRTY HURT AT A FIRE. Explosion of Gasoline at a Guthrie Blaze Has Serious Result GUTHRIE, O. T.—(Special.) Thirty persons were injured Thursday night by a gasoline generator explosion in the New York Hardware Company's store in Oklahoma avenue. At 3:30 o'clock fire broke out in the rear store, demanding the attention of two fire companies. While the firemen were fighting the flames an immense crowd gathered in the street before the plate glass front of the building. The fire ignited gasoline, which exploded, blowing out the front of the store into the crowd. Heavy plate glass went into the air, making serious wounds wherever it struck persons in falling. The injured are: Archie McWethy; skull fractured; fatally. James Beard; fireman; stomach cut open; serious. Jerome Cabert, traveling salesman for Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, of Kansas City; head and face; serious. J. B. Donnellly; temple and left arm seriously cut. J. A. Jackson; head and shoulders.

Robert Donahue; head and face; serious. W. R. Cline, of Wichita, Kas.; cut on head and body. Physicians were quickly on hand and did all in their power to relieve the wounded. The fire was confined to the building. ANOTHER NEW YORK MYSTERY. Man Found Dying in the Street With Unknown Woman Weeping Over Him. NEW YORK.—(Special.) A man partially identified as Mark J. Speyers, of Charleston, S. C., who was found Thursday unconscious on the sidewalk on Twenty-third street, near Seventh avenue, is dead at the New York hospital, apparently from morphine poisoning. A young woman, known under several names, and who is said to have been employed at the Charleston exposition and later became a traveling saleswoman for an Atlanta, Ga., mineral water company, was found weeping over the unconscious man when he lay on the sidewalk. She accompanied him to the hospital and remained at his side until he died. Then she is said to have returned to rooms on Seventeenth street, which had been occupied by the couple, packed their belongings and disappeared. From fragments of letters in the rooms it appeared that her former home was Ithaca. At the hospital, the man had been registered at "Sarris." The woman, who gave her name at the hospital as Mrs. Sarris, told the physicians there that her husband was subject to heart disease, but a coroner's physician who performed an autopsy could find no trace of any organic trouble. He said death had been due to opium or morphine, but there was no evidence that he had been addicted to the use of the drug. Powder Mill Blow Up JOHNSTOWN, PA.—(Special.) The coining mill of the Cambria Powder Company's plant, at Seward, nineteen miles from here, blew up Saturday, killing three men and injuring five others, one of whom has since died. Two others are fatally hurt. The dead: J. B. Smith, of Seward, aged 40; married, Charles Drover, of Wapwallowen, aged 35; unmarried; John Rhodes of Seward, aged 38; married; W. F. Bracken, of Seward, married. Five Drowned in a Flood. LAPORTE, IND.—(Special.) A telegram was received at Wanatah Saturday morning, conveying the intelligence of the drowning of Nelson N. Reynolds, his wife and three children in a flood in Tennessee. A daughter was the only survivor. Reynolds and his family, who lived at Wanatah, were visiting in Tennessee. A bridge on which they were crossing was swept away by a flood. Crank at the White House. WASHINGTON.—(Special.) Cary J. McAllister, of 45 Crawford street, Newark, N. J., called at the White House Thursday afternoon and subsequently was arrested and held for examination as to his mental condition. He was armed with a revolver which he said he wanted to use on a messerist who he said was ready to kill him. He is 26 years old. He said his troubles followed his rejection by a Newark girl. INDIANAPOLIS. I N D.—(Special.) Andrew Deiss, of Peoria, cut the throat of his young bride at the home of her mother Tuesday, and then killed himself by swallowing carbolic acid. Mrs. Deiss, who is 16 years old, is perhaps fatally injured. Deiss was placed under arrest by patrolmen who did not know he had taken poison, and while they were waiting for the patrol wagon Deiss was suddenly seized with convulsions and died in awful agony. He was 20 years old. The motive was jealousy. Deiss was a machinist. DEFENDS CLAIM T. F. 'M'MICHAEL KILLS E. W. JOHNSON AT OKLAHOMA CITY. A NEWSPAPER MAN IS INVOLVED E. R. Brown Does Some Shooting at the Murderer—Latter Fatally Wounded But Editor Brown Denies That He Did It—McMichael Had Thought Thirteen Years for His Claim. OKLAHOMA CITY, O. T.—(Special) E. W. Johnson was shot by T. F. McMichael, in the suburbs of the town, Wednesday morning about 10 o'clock, and died almost instantly. Immediately after Johnson was shot there was an exchange of shots between E. R. Brown and McMichael. The latter was wounded in the abdomen and will probably die. For thirteen years McMichael had been contesting a claim on which occurred the shooting. He has lost in the land office, local and general, and lost in the courts, but still lived on the claim. In the meantime, the city limits had extended up to and around part of the claim, making it worth possibly $40,000. In his long, bitter struggle he had became desperate and had announced that he would refuse to yield possession to anyone. In the meantime, Johnson became agent for the property. He was 28 years old, a real estate agent and unmarried. He had sold a lot to Brown and upon this Brown had made some improvements, expecting to erect a residence. Some trees had been planted and Wednesday morning Johnson and Brown went out to see the property. While they were there, McMichael appeared and the shooting occurred. There are many stories about this feature of it. Brown is credited with saying that Johnson shot McMichael, but Johnson died instantly with a shot in the head. Evidently he did not shoot McMichael after he himself was shot. But Brown admits having been in the affair, firing a number of shots at McMichael, all of which, he claims, missed the mark. Just who hit and who missed seems not to be known beyond the fact that Johnson is dead, McMichael wounded and Brown in good health. Brown is editor of a local paper and Johnson was known as "Rough Rider" Johnson, having earned the distinction. RUMOR OF A PLOT. King Edward VII The Intended Victim It is Said. LONDON.—(Special.) A sensational story is current in London of the discovery of a plot to assassinate King Edward. This story has created considerable discussion in newspaper and other circles, but it is lacking in official confirmation. According to the current report, King Edward's sudden illness at Aldershot was not due to a cold, but was merely an excuse for withdrawing his majesty from public functions, owing to the discovery by Scotland Yard of a plot against his life. The principals in this plot have not yet been arrested. It is cited in confirmation of this story that King Edward's recovery, when he was ensconced at Windsor castle, was as complete and speedy as his attack had been sudden. On the other hand, it is pointed out that, if his majesty's illness was merely diplomatic, the officials took a great deal of trouble in keeping up the deception. Sir Francis Laking, physician-in-ordinary to the king, was summoned by telegraph to Aldershot; his prescriptions were hurriedly filled, and everything about the king's apartments indicated the genuine nature of his illness. Furthermore, King Edward's journey from Aldershot to Windsor in his motor car and his subsequent drive Wednesday in Windsor park do not seem to indicate any fear of a further attack upon his person. At Scotland Yard the utmost residence is maintained concerning these rumors. It is noticeable, however, that the chief inspectors, who usually return home at night, were all on duty there after their time to leave, and while they refuse to see newspaper reporters, they declined to either deny or confirm the rumor.

Latest Kansas News Kansas Will Raise More This Year Than Ever Before. TOPEKA.—(Special.) Fred Wellhouse, the "apple king" of Kansas, gives it as his opinion that Kansas will raise one of the largest apple crops in her history this year. The trees are hardly as full of fruit as they have been in other years, but the size and quality of the fruit will make up what it lacks in quantity. "I believe," he said, "that Kansas raised more apples last year than ever raised in the state in any previous year, and unless something unlooked for happens soon, the crop of this year will be the largest in the history of the state. The apples are larger now than I have ever seen them at this time of the year, and I believe the quality will be unusually good. The Ben Davis, which is one of the best shipping apples, will be the finest apple on the market. They are of remarkable size now, and if nothing happens, will be the best ever raised in Kansas. The Missouri Pippin, one of the best Kansas apples, will be the most abundant of any of the apples. The trees now are simply loaded. The Jonathan apple will be scarce. Almost all of the young apples fell early in the spring. Of most of the other varieties there is a fairly good crop. It is true that the trees are not as full as usual, but I believe they are about right for a good yield "The price of apples last year was good and I think it will be equally as good this year. There is almost a failure of the peach crop in Kansas, except for the Southern part, which will tend to increase the sale of apples." JOHN D. NORTON GOES FREE. Sent to Prison Once for Murder, but Acquitted on Second Trial. COLUMBUS—(Special.) The case of the state of Kansas against John D. Norton, charged with killing Marion Thomas, the city marshal of Empire City, this county, February 4, 1900, went to the jury Friday, after having been on trial four days.

Norton was tried in the court of common pleas, of this county, two years ago, and found guilty of murder in the second degree, receiving a sentence of twenty years in the penitentiary. The supreme court held the common pleas court was not legally established, and Norton thereby received a new trial. He has always stoutly maintained his incidence, and that the killing was done in self defense. The verdict given by the jury Saturday sustains his plea, and he and his friends are highly pleased. This has been one of the most interesting trials in this county for years. ATCHISON MAN KILLED. James P. Wharton Accidently Shot by a Restaurant Man at Leon, Lea. ATCHISON.—(Special.) James P.
